State Route 171
Virginia Route 171 runs 11.19 miles east from SR 143 (Jefferson Avenue) at Oyster Point in the city of Newport News to Messick Point along the Back River in the independent city of Poquoson. The stretch along Oyster Point Road from Jefferson Avenue east to the cloverleaf interchange with Interstate 64 is unsigned. Continuing east along Victory Boulevard, SR 171 enters York County where it meets U.S. 17 (George Washington Memorial Highway) and SR 134 (Hampton Highway) at the community of Taft. Victory Boulevard extends east to SR 172 (Wythe Creek Road) in Poquoson with two lanes along a right of way wide enough to accommodate four lane expansion.
SR 171 east from SR 172 (Wythe Creek Road) follows Little Florida Road east 1.44 miles to Poquoson Avenue, and Poquoson Avenue 1.67 miles to Messick Road. Messick Road carries the remainder of the route southeast to Big Salt Marsh and Plum Tree Island National Wildlife Refuge. SR 171 is unsigned within the Poquoson city limits.
Prior to the construction of Victory Boulevard west from Calthrop Neck Road (SR 600) to Interstate 64, SR 171 followed Yorktown Road (SR 706) to SR 134 (Hampton Highway) at Tabb.
